I provide one spotlessly clean room, in a separate bungalow which includes an ensuite private bathroom with both Western-style and Indonesian-style toilets and a shower. The bungalow is situated on 3,000 square metres of land, and is very peaceful and quiet. It would suit travellers of all ages and families. There are many walks and bicycle rides which can be done along back roads, through the rice-fields, down to rivers.

Large room (4.5 m x 5.5 m) in a private bungalow
up to 4 guests
1 double bed (additional mattress available on request)
Suitable for a couple's retreat or honeymoon.
I provide a thermos with hot water for coffee/tea, and breakfast is included. Meals can be arranged.I can arrange rental of motorcycles, and assist in the organisation of trips around Ruteng, as well as to the Spider Rice Fields, Todo, Lake Rana Mese, Labuanbajo and Bajawa.

Ruteng is situated on a plateau at an elevation of 1,100 metres, which makes it beautifully cool in the evenings and early mornings with bright clear sunny days of around 27 degrees for much of the year. My Homestay is situated 3 km north of Ruteng, on a small hill called Golo Bilas, with superb views over terraced rice-fields to the north, and magnificent views over Ruteng toward the Ruteng Range and the active volcano, Gunung Ranakah, to the south. It is a magical spot on the road to Gua Liang Bua (the famous Hobbit Cave). It is easy to get to my Homestay - mini-bus and private car drivers know where it is (1 km beyond Hotel FX72), or you can easily arrange an ojek in Ruteng.
Udis Lawus' Homestay is located on the road to Gua Liang Bua, 3 km from the centre of Ruteng. It is very safe and quiet, and stunningly beautful. There are some fantastic walks and bike rides around the Homestay itself. Relax in the cool mountain air at 1,100 metres after the heat and humidity of the coast.
Getting around
• 20 km to Cancar (via Wae Garit) - the Spider Rice Fields are near Cancar (30 minutes by motorcycle).
• From Cancar, it's a further 25 km to Todo traditional village (conical customary houses)
• Continue another 25 km from Todo to Denge village, and walk for 2.5 hours to Wae Rebo.
• 15 km (30 minutes by motorcycle) to Gua Liang Bua (Hobbit Cave).

D-Rima Homestay (not to be mixed with Rima Hotel which is from his father) is very close to a nice modern indonedian restaurant "Springhill" Our room with kingbed had a private bathroom with bath and hot water. Ruteng is at 1200 mtr and in the evening a bit chilly. We had arranged 2 scooters and went to several places. The people in Ruteng are very nice, driving with the scooter to for example to 'liang bua' everyone is waving to you. Is fun! Resume: Ruteng to view things like wae Rabi is all quite far, but meet the people is a good opportunity.

I was stunned to see the inside of the house. It was better than the picture. The house was great, very clean, homey, and neat. It was like having your own home. The hosts was great. Pak Dedy and Bu Linda greet us personally in the morning to make us some breakfast. We talked a lot about Flores and its surrounding. I personally recommend this place for backpackers or travelers who wants to explore Flores overland. It is truly an oasis

Samuel2017-05-31T00:00:00Z

Richardo was very hospitable; he welcomed us to his home and in the morning he suggested we went for a walk around the rice fields (very pleasant at that time of day). We also had a wonderful meal cooked by Richardo's wife - a wide range of Indonesian dishes - some of the best food we have tasted in our travels around the islands. The room is simple - there is cold water for the shower - but the welcome we received was very warm!

Charles2017-07-06T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our stay in Ruteng. Ricardo's home stay was fine. He helped us during our stays with activities. We met a great guide named Chandran, a young student who wants to learn English. Chandran guided us for a day on a scooter and took us to his village !! Wonderful day! Ricardo and his wife prepare very good lunch, the room was very good. I recommend.

Juan Camilo2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Excellent homestay in Ruteng. Very clean and comfortable accommodation. The host's wife helped us to arrange a motorbike rental for getting down to Wae Rebo and also a bus to Bajawa with pick up from the house. Would highly recommend !

Benjamin2017-07-26T00:00:00Z

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay with the Deddy family. Richardo organised everything for our short stay including Motorbike, directions to events, food and organising onward travel. We recommend the dinner in the Guesthouse, it was superb!

Adrian2017-08-24T00:00:00Z

Very clear communication and lovely place to stay. You'll receive lots of useful abd interesting tips to look-around, and a delicious breakfast is prepared every morning. Though wifi was off, you don't need it with a place like this that includes a comfy bed and hot shower. Love it!

Lennart2017-08-01T00:00:00Z

The accommodation was OK for Indonesian standards. Richardo, however, offers you a car rental and a motorbike at twice the price of Java, Bali or Lombok, despite Ruteng is countryside. Richardo will also try to impose you a local guide on almost every trip, which you dont really need at any of the local attractions. I would also warn you of the driver Richardo uses because he has almost killed us several times on his way back to LB due to his extremely dangerous ride. Overall I do not recommend this place.

We spent a very nice night at Ronny's house, in the center of Ruteng. They give us advices for restaurants for the evening and we ate a wonderful breakfast the morning. We felt like at home, in a family atmosphere. Nice talks and very good hospitality. If you go to Ruteng for exploring the "hobbit cave" and the field rices, do not hesitate to spend one night (or more) in Ronny's place!

François2016-08-13T00:00:00Z

Nice, simple clean rooms. Lovely hosts and great breakfast.

David2017-04-26T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Ronny's homestay was excellent. He and his family are friendly people who always like to help organise trips. The rooms are spatious and clean, as well as the shared bathroom. The breakfast is very diverse and well prepared. The homestay is situated at the heart of Ruteng and closeby coffee shops and restaurants. It is definitly worth to stay here.

Anis is the nicest host you will meet in flores! He is funny and kind and we had a great time! He took us to a local village that was in the middle of celebrating the creation of a new traditional house. It was one of the most impressive and strange experiances of my life and i'm glad anis offered to take us there!

Nijs2016-08-25T00:00:00Z

The Homestay is very nice and the owner is very helpful. Despite the home stay is not inside Ruteng, it is close to a traditional village (5 min walk). We recommend!

Aline2016-08-05T00:00:00Z

The second time I stayed here to my satisfaction. Ruteng has not a lot of accommodation and compared this is one of the best. Ruteng main attraction is its location at 1200 meter height which gives it a temperate although easy rainy climate in the tropics. The guesthouse lies in a suburb just 10 minutes by motor (rent from the guesthouse) away from the center. The house has a lovely young student staff which will provide breakfast (omelet, toast) and will bring you catered other meals. I cooked a great lunch for a few guest after a visit to the great main market of Ruteng. There is a nice social atmosphere in the guesthouse which invites meeting other passengers and members of the staff. Facilities are ok considering the low price. It is all a bit run down but sufficient. The garden is a nice place to spend some time of rest during the day.

Wouter2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

The welcome was very friendly. It's a nice house with a nice garden terrace. The rooms were spacious and clean.

. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and big groups.

Nice place with a beautiful garden in the back including ginger, coffee and an avocado tree. The primary host was the same age as me and he helped me with getting meals and checking out the surrounding area to take photos. Five stars for him. It would really be helpful if there were photos of the rooms. Also, one lock on the windows facing the street didn't work. The bed was a creak monster but was pretty comfortable. There was also some issues with the water as others have mentioned but I'm not above a bucket shower despite the price. One last bit is the wild amount of books to read at the house if you want to relax and read away. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality!

Danaan2017-05-23T00:00:00Z

Nice place for a stop in the Ruteng area. Staff are friendly, helpful and accommodating (I was unwell and they made up some tea, food and supplied some medicine). Rooms are fairly basic, but fine for a short stay. Not great Water pressure in the shower when we stayed, so had to shower with a bucket, but the water was hot. Lovely to have breakfast in the garden in the morning and enjoy the sun. The homestay is near Ruteng Pu traditional village, which is definitely worth a quick visit.

Michael-George2017-05-10T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay away from the busy centre surrounded by trees. The house has a lot of charm and the host, Anis is real sweet. He was so helpful to arrange transportation and knowledgeable about Flores. Made my few days stop ay Ruteng worthwhile !

Nicole2017-07-27T00:00:00Z

This is a green and clean oasis in Ruteng. We enjoyed our stay very much. They try to help with everything you need (scooter rental, laundry, transportation). Home away from home...
